Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, E
The report suggested the following changes: need for evidence-based planned care; reorganization of practices to meet needs of patients who require more time; attention to patients' need for information and behavioral change; ready access to clinical expertise needed; and supportive information systems. Current trends, which reflect these suggestions, are the focus on evidence-based care; more patient education; need for accepting self-management responsibility; and expansion of electronic medical records and other information technologies. Health care may be improving its organization, but it is not an obvious trend with obvious change, nor are reimbursement schedules allowing care providers more time to spend with clients. Cost containment is decreasing the time care providers can spend with clients.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E, F
A variety of tools are used to identify people who would benefit from case management services. These include health risk screening tools, evidence-based criteria, risk stratification through data management, and referrals from hospitals and health care providers.
